Donating blood over an hour can save up to three lives. The Red Cross runs its blood drives and other activities largely with volunteers. She says making an appointment with the Red Cross to donate is a great method.

Collins added keeping the appointment is great for the volunteers helping the Red Cross to maximize their time and impact. To make a donation appointment, call 1-800-Red-Cross.
